The crime wave at the hall
My holiday reading came from the Patearoa public library.

Surprise attack should overcome Richie's knighthood reticence
Parliament Buildings, Wellington, New Zealand
Designing politician waives the flag
New spin on 'non-contact'

It's not what you say but how you say it
You will have heard many times the politician who thinks ''referendum'' is pronounced ''refrendum''.
Square Peg Recruiting comes up with candidate to fill Labour hole
The Labour Party's quest for a leader to take the faithful to a glorious triumph in the 2017 elections may take some time.
